G'day / Hola / Ciao / Yassas

I've used couchsurfing for years to host, surf, meet and organise activities. I always pay attention to references, and especially appreciate people who have hosted or actively contributed to this site by not just surfing. I understand though sometimes it's not possible to host, but I am especially keen to help or meet those who have helped others.

I have Italian/Greek DNA but am born and bred in Melbourne, Australia.

I can get along with most types of people, but especially appreciate those who are humble, speak honestly and have a sense of humour. I have a serious aversion to bullshitters, lotharios, freeloaders or arrogant types. I may be quiet, but not shy about calling out this type of behaviour.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I look for a home wherever I am.
I hope people feel like they have a home with me.
Experiences are best shared.
